Personal Skills

Personal Skills are very useful little abilities that you will find on the various Mediums in the game. They add very positive effects to the character equipping the Medium, such as protection from elemental damage, more attack or defense power, or even really cool things like Finest Arts, which hits the enemy for MASSIVE damage!

If you are new to Personal Skills, please read the information below.

  • You will be able to start using Personal Skills after your entire team completes the Fallen Sanctuary dungeon and returns to see Halle in Baskar Colony. Simply go to the Mediums menu, select Personal Skill, and then the character you wish to view and set skills for. Personal Skills are not automatic; you must go to the Mediums menu and select Personal Skills. Choose a character, and the Personal Skills allocation screen will appear. There, you can allocate Personal Skill points to different Personal Skills.

  • Personal Skill points are used to activate Personal Skills, and each skill has different amounts of points needed to activate, as well as a few "levels" of activation. For example, Fire Ward requires 1 Personal Skill point to activate the first "level", and that means it blocks out 25% of fire damage. Activating another level for 1 more Personal Skill point would block out 50%, another would be 75%, and activating all 4 would be 100%.

  • Your characters will have Personal Skill Points equal to their level (for example, a Level 50 character will have 50 points). Once you set your points to skills, you can always choose the "Reset" command, then select the skill you want to "empty" to get the points back.

  • Each Medium has 3 Personal Skills equipped, and 5 "slots" for extra skills. To obtain extra skills, you must find items classified as "Gear" and "Equip" them to your Mediums via the Medium menu; this will take up one of the empty slots on that Medium and teach it a Personal Skill in return. Obviously, each piece of Gear has a different Personal Skill, and you can learn more about Gear on the Gear section of the shrine.

  • Each time a Personal Skill takes effect in battle, the character who's skill was activated will earn a X 0.1 multiplier to the EXP they receive at the end of the current battle!

  • Later on, if you want to remove a PSS you equipped on a Medium, select that skill from the Equip menu and scroll down to find the "Delete" command.

  • Don't be TOO eager to use your Gear right away! Remember, once you equip a Gear, you cannot get it back, so if you equip a Gear and then switch your Medium placement around, you may end up with duplicate Personal Skills on your characters!

    • And now, here's a table with a list of all of the skills in the game, as well as their effects at various levels of activation, their FP cost per level of activation, and the Gear they are contained in. Methods for obtaining each Gear can be found on the Gear section of the shrine. Thanks go to Split Infinity's Personal Skills FAQ for the information contained here!
